MPB – Pool Room Posts #10

We had a meeting with the mid wife on Monday and we have scheduled the 16th of January as the date that Vanilla Bean will be induced, should he not have arrived already. We selected the 16th because my brother is coming back from the UK specifically for the birth, and he leaves to go back home to the UK on the 20th, so we wanted to make sure that his trip wasn’t a wasted one.

In other baby news – My wife started washing all of the teeny tiny clothes this week (Picture below). We are also putting the last little bits and pieces together in his room, as he could drop in on us any day now.

Christmas

I had a pretty good Christmas overall. I ate WAY too much though! But I did have some good chats with the family and we managed to cool off with a dip in the pool a bit after midday. I also managed to score pretty well in the socks and toiletries department – Go Santa!

As this is my first Christmas as a PF blogger, I was a little surprised at home many people closed up shop on their blogs. I found I had so much more time on my hands as I was not reading anywhere near as many posts. I almost didn’t know what to do with myself. Please come back soon.

3rd place was a post over at Retire By Forty by Joe titled – A Little Active Income Goes A Long Way In Early Retirement. I think the reason why I enjoyed this post is because Joe is trying to escape the rat race by using passive income. It’s a great goal to set yourself and I love seeing the steps people take to achieve it. I would also love to join the ranks of being a full time passive income person, but the realist in me says that I have a long way to go.

Congratulations to this weeks winners – I hope everyone enjoys the posts mentioned above as much as I did.

For next week – If you think you have a top post and you want to make sure I see it, be sure to leave a comment somewhere on my blog and include the link in the Comment Luv section. I make sure I check every blog owners page if they have left a comment on my blog, so that’s a sure fire way to ensure I see your blog post.

Thanks for the mention. It’s an honor to make it into your pool room (^_^) I think pretty much everyone eats way too much on Christmas so you’re not alone 😀 It’s interesting to read about your holiday activities like cooling off in the pool, because up here in the northern hemisphere, it’s literally freezing out there haha, especially where I live in Canada. At least our igloos won’t melt this way 😛Liquid recently posted..My New Saskatchewan Farm

Awe, how exciting the baby will be here before you know it. I didn’t close up shop over Christmas but I wasn’t working so it wasn’t so bad. With all the projects I have on the go in January it will be super busy for me. I’m glad Christmas is finally over so we can get back to normal or somewhat normal around here.

I’m baaaaack. 😉 Your Vanilla Bean may arrive at any moment—that is so exciting! The experience is so sacred and thrilling and terrifying and so beyond surreal, and, as Sean mentioned upthread, lack of sleep and bumbling about like a drunken zombie for the next few months totally is worth it. I’m thrilled for you and Mrs. Glen and simply can not wait to read your musings as a new papa.
